Bad Dream lyrics - Ani Difranco

Don't even think for a second

I had any idea

I thought you'd always want me

Like I wanted you

I just stood there motionless

While you turned on me

By the time I got my wits about me

There was nothing I could do

I was living in a bad dream

Not of my design

Caught up in the spotlight

Of your agitated mind

Minding my own business

Just rolling down the road

Trying not to take it personal

This heavy, heavy load

You can't imagine how far

What was happening

Was from

What was happening

For me

Yeah, what was happening

Floored me

Because I thought that we were perfect

Which is to say

I just knew it was all worth it

Everyday

I would listen to the birds sing

In the morning

But it didn't matter if I turned left or I turned right

It didn't matter if I tossed and turned all night

I just couldn't do nothing right

I was living in a bad dream

Not of my design

Caught up in the spotlight

Of your agitated mind

Minding my own business

Rolling down the road

Trying not to take it personal

This heavy, heavy load
